Upcoming Classes
Care: Coping with Grief and Loss
Sunday, August 24th at 9:00am in Room B
Coping with grief includes addressing emotional, physical, and social well-being. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve. Topic highlights will include how to acknowledge and allow yourself to experience the pain of loss, while simultaneously focusing on self-care, seeking support, and engaging in meaningful activities after a loss.
Care: Finding Joy and Gratitude Through Recovery
Tuesday, August 26th at 6:30pm in Room A
Addiction and addictive behaviors change you in ways that affect your ability to experience joy. Joy won't automatically return but like most things learned, it takes practice. If you've been struggling to find joy because of an addiction, you can change it with your thoughts, choices, actions and the transforming power of the gospel.
Care: Faithful Steps - Knowing When to Seek Professional Christian Counseling
Sunday, August 31th at 9:00am in Room B
